Bonjour lecteurs! Spring might be coming up soon, but temperatures can be quick to drop in the UK! The new fashion trend is to wear socks over your leggings. Do you still want to look chic? So here is my fashion guide for you to look good whatever la température. The Art Of Layering Socks for a Cosy & Chic Look is easy to master. Ready? Regardez!
Start With The Right Base Layer
The first layer of socks is key because it sits closest to your skin. This layer should be thin, breathable, and moisture-wicking to prevent your feet from feeling suffocated. So you need to look for thin cotton socks. They are classiques for daily wear.
J’adore also silk or bamboo socks. They feel soft and luxurious. So parfaites for keeping moisture at bay.
If you are on your feet all day, opt for compression socks. They will help improve circulation while keeping you warm.
Second Layer for Warmth
The second layer is all about keeping warm baby! So go for thicker socks come into play. Depending on the level of warmth you need, consider wool socks. They are the ultimate winter go-to for trapping heat without making your feet sweat.
But we also saw cable-knit or chunky socks on the runway this season.
Personnellement, I love thermal socks, especially when I am on my bike. When it’s freezing outside, thermal socks are your best friend. I recommend the DG Hill winter socks because they are designed to retain heat, they’re perfect for wearing over thinner base layers in extreme cold.
Go bold as well with contrasting textures and colours.
Wear The Right Footwear
The art of layering socks isn’t just about warmth. You need to pair them with the right shoes to complete your look. Here is my guide.
Knee-high boots go well with over-the-knee socks while ankle boots are perfect with layered socks.
Or you can even for for some chunky sneakers with scrunched socks . It will give you this effortlessly cool, street-style vibe by layering crew socks over thinner ankle socks and scrunching them down.
Play with Colours & Patterns
Don’t be afraid to mix and match when layering socks. Playing with patterns, textures, and colours can add une touche chic to your cold-weather outfits. Here are some fun combos to try.
- Neutral base + bold outer layer : a classic white or beige sock under a brighter version
- Plaid socks + solid knit socks: this is the perfect autumnal look. Add it to your best knit.
- Monochrome layers: j‘adore mixing different shades of the same colour. C’est super chic!
Keep Comfort in Mind
I might love following trends. But for me it’s all about comfort!
So remember to layer up but not too tights. This can cut off circulation and make your feet colder instead of warmer. Choose socks that fit well together. Too much bulk, and your shoes won’t fit properly.
Mastering the art of sock layering is all about combining function with fashion. With the right base layers, warm top layers, and stylish footwear pairings, you can create a winter-ready look that’s both cosy and effortlessly chic. Have a go and let me know how it made you feel.
